Search plugin (I18N)

[Angryboy]

How long ago did you ask?

Feb '12. Not really asked for (I didn't need it), it was just a suggestion because I thought it would be useful.

Goodness. I'll say it again, time has flown XD (and your suggestion was very useful indeed :-))

Just tested this and it seems to work for regular pages. With my forum script, DM_Matrix seems to have a bit of trouble sorting by anything other than pubDate and times out (I likely have too many queries running during the search). In principle though, I think it does work for other items indexed by i18n search; I'll just need to find another way of resorting the arrays.

Next possible suggestion(s) to this ever-growing search module when the time exists:

Excluding tags - example:

Code:

(% search noTags='tag1, tag2' %)

Then that removes all entries in the search that have the tags 'tag1' and 'tag2' (probably involves using in_array() and iterating through the search items to remove entries that meet that condition).

OR detection - example

Code:

(% search tags='tag1 OR tag2' %)

Does a query for tag1, another for tag 2 and merges the queries/arrays, so you have either one searched for.

*edit*

Found out my problem (really stupid mistake on my part that unnecessarily made the query loading ridiculously long). Yup, custom sorting works for all items indexed by i18n search, even other plugins.
